Action:

Eucalyptus honey is produced by honey bees that pollinate the flowers of the eucalyptus tree and sometimes collect the honeydew found on the bark of these trees. It is medium-dark in color and may have a red tint. It has been found that the darker the color of the eucalyptus honey, the more pronounced the reddish tint will be.

In addition to collecting nectar in the flower, honeybees are known to feed on honeydew from the bark of eucalyptus trees.

When a honeybee collects eucalyptus nectar from a flower, it mixes with an enzyme in the bees' mouths. The enzyme is otherwise known as invertase or "bee enzyme," which is secreted by the honeybee's glands.

When honey bees return to the hive, they pass the nectar they have collected between their mouths, further mixing the nectar with “bee enzyme,” reducing the water content and converting the nectar into honey.

They then deposit the eucalyptus honey into the wax cells, and to reduce the water content, the bees spread their wings over the wax cell. In this way, they evaporate some of the water.

Eucalyptus honey is used topically to treat and heal wounds, ulcers, burns, cuts, scrapes, and sores. It has also been shown to be effective on insect bites and stings. It is known to relieve rheumatism, lumbago, sprains, stiffness, aches, fibrosis, and nerve pain.

Eucalyptus honey is also effective in relieving nasal congestion and cough.

It is believed to be effective in combating insomnia. There are a number of studies that prove that eucalyptus honey can treat cataracts.
